How To Use Archive Mail??

[Evert Ford]

Your rule points to a e-mail address.  It should point to an mbox-type file,
or a directory.  If it points to an mbox-type file the messages will be
archived in mbox format, and if it points to a directory, they will be
archived in the native format of your MTA(qf/df pairs in the case of
sendmail).

example:
in /etc/MailScanner/rules/monitor.rules would be something like

FromOrTo: *@domain.com /var/spool/MailScanner/archive/mydomainarchive

mydomainarchive is either an mbox-style file or a directory, depending on
what you want.

Archiving works in 4.x or greater and archiving in mbox format in 4.2x or
greater if memory serves me correctly.

Hope this helps,

Hi-

I have seen many posts on "Use Archive Mail", but I am not sure what I am
doing wrong, but I can't get it to work.

I host some websites where the owner would like me to monitor email in/out
of their domain.  This is to monitor employee's and to make sure they are
not doing things against company policy with their email of
employee at domain.com.

I have done this in MailScanner.conf:
Archive Mail = /etc/MailScanner/rules/monitor.rules

Then I edit that file (/etc/MailScanner/rules/monitor.rules) to look like
this:
FromOrTo: *@domain.com monitor at mydomain.com
default no

But email goes through without being forwarded.  I have tried to add
forward between the addresses, but that did nothing.  Can you please give
me more information on how to setup the ruleset to monitor only a specific
domain, both incoming and outgoing?  Thanks. Jeremy
